X fails to start after upgrading from xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0-5-i686 tp xf86-video-vesa-2.0.0-1-i686. The screen simply goes blank, and neither console switching nor ctrl+atl+bksp has any effect.

I have an ATI Mobility Radeon x1400 graphics card in my laptop.


I have attached:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
lspci output


Steps to reproduce:
$ startx (works with VESA driver)
# pacman -Syu (updates VESA to 2.0.0-1)
$ startx (doesn't work with VESA driver)

Reversing the upgrade fixes the problem:
# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xf86-video-vesa-1.3.0-5-i686.pkg.tar.gz
$ startx (works with VESA driver)
   Xorg.0.log (85.1 KiB)
   xorg.conf (14.4 KiB)
   lspci.txt (2 KiB)
This task depends upon
